Omg my memory is horrible! Even my cognitive function is just going way to fast! I get so frustrated when I can't do or remember something! Ugh π I'm here if you need to talk! Feel better! π€
There's times when my brain is like a sieve. EVERYTHING falls through!!!!
Yes I do, it is Fibro Fog. It is one of the side effects of fibromyalgia. Try I do not get anxious about it. Just slow done and think, what you want to say. It will come to you in good time. Many times I just cannot remember things. But I just relaxed, and continue to try and remember and in good time I remembered, some times I will be speaking to someone and in the middle of the conversation I have to stop and think what to say. I will say to them, sorry it is my Fibro Taking over. If we get to anxious it will get worse. Just relax, do what you can to help yourself. Have a good evening. Lots of hugs.
I didn't really notice it til people kept making a point to tell me so. But yeah, my memory is gone short term. I've just had it brought right to the front when I sold something I loved to my sister because I was desperate for money then found out I had given it to my aunt two years ago. My sister is not convinced I didn't do it on purpose. But then she thinks everything I tell her. (even the fact that I have leukemia) is just a bid for attention. At 63 I don't have time for those games.
